If you have ever had a water loss in your home, you understand that it can be a very stressful time. SERVPRO of Clay County wanted to provide some information that you can use to help prevent water losses in your home for the future. However as a disclaimer these are simply to be the best prepared but no practice can prevent unexpected and accidental water losses. 

1. The first thing we always recommend is to understand where all of you emergency shut off valves are in your home. If there is a water loss from a busted pipe, you can cut the water off that will minimize the amount of damage.

2. Know your emergency contact numbers. Make sure you have a plumber, electrician and a disaster restoration company like SERVPRO of Clay County in your mobile phone. 

Overall it is important to have resources and contacts documented and reviewed throughout the year. Being prepared can help minimize and prevent future water losses.
